Consultation filled the ar all day. the
very desks aud the dinner table st the
hotels being filled with it. On Friday
the House friends Of reform determine
70 have q meeting of both bodies In the
parlor this ever ing, and George II.
Bates, ECO, and Albert p. Robinson,
Esq were Invited to address the ioini
1 meeting upon the constitutionality OF
DIR. Martins bill and snoh other consti.
tutional matters they choose 10 talk
upon. Neither OF the gentlemen could
be on hand, and ut the request of DR.,

pending the action Of the Senate. Noses
have been counted In the House, and
there are thirteen or fourteen mem bers
there who are In favor Of reform In the
most ultra shape possible, even to the
adoption OF DIR. Martins bill, II thew
can be convinced that such q measure
is constitutional.
There are three or four more who are
In favor OF more moderate bill, The
Senate, however, Ia not 30 full Of reform
and fears are freely entertained thai
most any constitutional convention
bill will hnd sweet and peaceful rest
ing place In that august body, DR.
Martins idea In having the joint a ct
ing postponed was TO have the Senate
to. morrow TO resolve itself into com
mittee OF the whole upon his bill. Al
present 1t ID the Doctors intention tt
make this move to morrow, hut from
present appearances your CORES pond en-,
can say that the Senate will not resolve
why, for the reason before stated It II
not a convention senate. The visit o
certain distinp nished gentlemen from
Wilmington has not been without III
effect, and the factional whip has beer
cracked pretty thoroughly, and at pres
lent 1t looks like the old, cum bersom,
and lop-sided constitution will be pre-
iserved and the States progress will b,
lswamped in the abyss OF Denocrati,
factionAl quarrels.
A number of friends of conyentjo,
feel badly over the matter, not alon,
from the fact that they have the bes
Interests Of the State at heart, but 70
the reason OF purely partisan purposes
They say that unless they do somethinl
this time, they will not have an oppor
tunity again; that the people of th
state will send legislature who vii
do something and they won't be tn
present members. They say do some

Wall OF public opinion. The mail
objection TO the Martin bill Is that 1t /
not constitutional, and again even IL Ia
they say It Is very probable, IL not all
the election Jaws will have to b
ohanged. The friends Of the bill, how
lever, discourage these objections, ant
Say there Ii nothing In them.
The friends Of DIR. Martins bill ar
, willing to take Mr.. McOoy's bill |
nothing better can be given, but 1t l
lvery doubtful II even this bill can b
IpAseed in the Senate.
